I just wrapped up an 8 day long road trip where I drove from Boston to Indianapolis and back. Drove just over 2300 miles and had an average efficiency of 3.5mi/kWh. Was overall pretty pleased with the trip and it showed me that EV road tripping definitely takes a different mindset, but the forced stops every 90 minutes actually made the trip quite a bit more enjoyable than just iron manning and stopping every 2 hours for 5 minutes to bio and/or fuel up.

Here's a break down of all of my DC fast charging stops. I burned through the rest of my 250kw of free charging from Hyundai and ended up paying just over $50 out of pocket. My trip was broken up into 4 primary travel days and I started e

I'm currently a student with just a hair over 21 hours. Last week I was endorsed for local solo flights between a few airports; this is an accomplishment that has left me absolutely overjoyed, but at the same time a bit terrified as the weight of responsibility really starts hitting home. Not terrified in a bad way, mind you, just one that leaves me hyper aware of what the hell I'm actually doing.

Yesterday we finally had a nice clear, calm, day up in New England. The vast majority of my training has been done in absolutely awful weather... last Thursday I went up at 10kts gusting 20 with about 60 degrees of crosswind which was not the worst I've see

I'm hesitant to post here as I am not (yet) active in the Kerbal community. I hope to change that soon :).

I am a livestreamer focusing on flightsims who recently decided to get Kerbal a whirl. My aim with this series is to go in knowing absolutely nothing about rocketry, Kerbal, or really much of anything. This week I performed my second day of Rocket Surgery and put together a highlight clip that's been well received and wanted to share.

I will say, the elation that I experienced after running into the wall a couple times was unmatched by damn near any game I've played. It was an incredibly fun night and I can't wait to fire back up. I'm hooked.

I put together a video that attempts to demystify the initial setup process for X-Plane 10. My goal was to get someone from zero to flying, complete with an understanding of views and controls, in a reasonable amount of time so that they may enjoy this lovely sim.

My good friend Flying Jackal (the owner of FlyJSim) has taken to streaming his work over the last couple of weeks. He recently finished up work on an update to his 732 TwinJet and is currently working on an update to the 727. Jack's been talking through his work and answering questions along the way. I would recommend anyone who wants to see the planemaking process drop in and say hello!

Jack from FlyJSim just posted the first screenshot from the interior of his 732 TwinJet project for X-Plane 10. Definitely excited to add this one to my hangar :).

It doesn't always look like this, but when it does you just have to stop and admire it for a bit :).
